Deerfoot Tornado by Spadon & Dolphins – 11" Italian Auto Knife | Orange Poplar Burl Handle, Ring Pull Lock

Power meets tradition in the Deerfoot Tornado—a bold 11" Italian automatic knife handcrafted through the collaboration of Spadon and Dolphins Maniago. This model is part of the esteemed Dolphins 188 Series, reflecting the best of Maniago’s artisan cutlery legacy.

It features a stainless steel MA 420 blade with a thick 5mm spine for serious durability and slicing strength. The orange poplar burl handle brings rich, organic beauty to the knife, stabilized for long-term resilience and finished with polished bolsters and brass pins.

What sets it apart is the classic ring pull lock system: after auto deployment via the button actuator, simply pull the brass ring at the top to disengage the blade lock and fold the knife safely shut. It’s a nod to time-tested Italian knife engineering—with a modern collector's edge.
